Very well done in typical PW fashion: honest, straightforward and pure.

I like it...It's nothing novel or revolutionary, just a straightforward version of a good song. Glad he covered it.

Greatest Cover Ever. Period.
No wait, that was "Sunshine"
No, it was Nowhere Man

An abject butchering.
Just like What Kind of Fool Am I and Postcards From Paradise.

the nowehere man cover is genius. the original is all pissy and shiney, whereas his version has so much soul.
postcards from paradise is one of my fave ever paul songs, cover or no cover.

The nicest thing about "Nowhere Man" is you can skip it with the press of a button.
I've heard the Mats do some great versions of this song, but Paul's solo take on it just drags & drags.
Love ya Paul, but you missed the boat on this one.

Nowhere Man has never been a favorite Beatles tune for me so I'm not in love with the song itself, but I think PW does a fine job with it.
And Postcards is flat-out brilliant. It was the clincher in the 'do I love Paul or don't I love Paul' sweepstakes.

It's one of my favorites from the I Am Sam soundtrack. It's pure and full of pathos. If anyone personifies the Nowhere Man, it's Paul.

I'm with angela, I think it helps that it's never been my favorite Beatles' song.
I like both versions: Paul's melancholy one and the Replacements' more up tempo one.

I think I would have rather had the Dylan cover on here instead, if there had to a cover song on the disc.

It's one of my favorite PW covers. It actually surprises me how many people don't like it.  |
